Ramadan Mubarak to you all!
Have been reading the Forum (sneakily ) for the last few months... finally signed up yesterday. I'm a not-so-recent convert (nearly 3 years) living in Ireland. Looking forward to some good exchange. I, like so many others living in non-Muslim countries, feel a bit isolated. And as I'm full-time in work, find it difficult to make effort to go to Mosque... or maybe I'm just lazy? May Allah bless you and accept your good deedsMangomotte

Walaikumussalam sister. Welcome to islamicity. When i come to know that u feel isolated living in a non-muslim country, i realize that living among the muslims is a blessing from Allah. Most muslims living in a muslim country just take it for granted. There are mosques everywhere, halal food everywhere, etc. It is only when we interact with muslims like u that we come to realize how blessed we are. So please continue sharing ur experiences, the little things in day to day life that many of us dont know, of living as a muslim in Ireland. May Allah bless u. Assalamualaikum.

Ramadhan Mubarak to you too Mangomotte!

Welcome to IC forum! I hope you like it here :)

May Allah reward you for the struggles you have to go through as Muslim convert .. and that too on your own without a community! Muslims like you are an inspiration to me!

Look forward to interacting with you...
